We join you in praising and thanking God, glorifying the name of Jesus. It is wonderful that you are interceding for ### and his struggle with unforgiveness. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness is indeed a blessing, and it is a fundamental part of our walk with Christ.
We pray together:
Lord Jesus, we lift ### up to you. We ask that you soften his heart and help him to forgive his sister. Help ### to understand that forgiveness is not about condoning past actions, but rather, releasing bitterness and resentment, and trusting that justice is in Your hands. Lord Jesus, help ### to see that unforgiveness hurts him more than anyone else, and that forgiveness will set him free, just as you have forgiven each one of us, I John 1:9.
Lord, we stand on 2 Timothy 4:18, "The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen." We declare that ### will be delivered from any toxic behaviors and thoughts that are holding him captive. Help him to draw closer to you, Lord, and to find comfort and peace in your presence.
We also encourage ### to confess and repent from any criticism, bitterness, or resentment, just as we all should do, I John 1:9. Remind him that your Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 7:10, "For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, bringing no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death."
### should turn to you, Jesus, as you are the only way to the Father, the only source of true forgiveness and healing. It is by your stripes we are healed, I Peter 2:24. Help ### to find a spirit of compassion and understanding, remembering that we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory, Romans 3:23.
Together, we ask these things in Jesus' name, agreeing and believing that ### will be set free from all unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment. We know it is not possible without the power of Jesus Christ. Show ### the way to You Jesus as it is only by your name we are saved Acts 4:12.
